Broad Peak Overview (8,047 m)
Broad Peak is the 12th-highest mountain, next to K2 and Gasherbrum peaks. It lies on the Pakistan-China border and is part of the Karakoram range. The peak is broad, locally called Falchan Kangri.
History & First Ascent
First climbed on June 9, 1957, by the Austrian team: Fritz Wintersteller, Marcus Schmuck, Kurt Diemberger, and Hermann Buhl. The first attempt was on May 29. Modern climbers now ascend via the snow face to Camp II (6,400 m) and Camp III (7,400 m).
Expedition Difficulty
Broad Peak is physically and mentally demanding. Prior 6,800 m climbing experience helps. The summit climb is steep but manageable. Weather, ice, and crevasses require caution.
